bling in her pocket for key. She did not
relinquish her escorts arm and led him in
through the gate into a dark corner under
the stoop, where the door was. The gentle
man attributed this to her nervousness,
thinking that she did not want him to leave
her until she was in the house.
The woman, however, suddenly drew her
arm from his, and, turning swiftly, disap-
peared through the gate. Almost slmulta-
neousiy he was confronted by two men.
While one of them crowded close up to him
and took hold of his coat collar, the other
demanded what he was doing there. The
gentleman opened his mouth to explain,
but before he could do so he received a
blow on the side of the head which nearly
stunned him. He tottered and fell against
the wall, and when he picked himself up
the men were gone. So was the woman,
his gold watch and chain and S23 in money.
The house where the robbery occurred
was uninhabited. and had been selected by
the robbers as the place where they could
do their work undisturbed.
1t all happened so quick that the victim,
overt ONE with surprise, could not make an
outcry. He was so confused when attacked
by the men that he did not know what to
say, in fact, they did Tot give him time to
do or say anything. While they were hold
ing I'm, one of them discovered the watch
and chain and the money in the other
pocket. They then dealt him a blow, and
at the same time relieved hi n Of his money
and valuables and disappeared, like the
woman who evidently waited somewhere
in safety after having led her game into a
trap.

THE FLOOD SUBSIDING.
But it is Rumored That the Others are
Coming Down.

But it is Rumored That the Others are
Coming Down.
There was but little change in the condi-
ton of the OVERLOOKED plantations yester-
day, and the planters had not much TO say
except that the water was slowly subsiding
The foods running out, but the fall in the
river is slight and not enough to have an
appreciate effect upon the situation. The
current is still swift enough to continue
its destruction of the bank, and
the erosion is still going on
where the water rushes through the breaks.
The fall of the water does not excite any
hopes of saving any of the crops, for they
have been under water SO long that it is
thought they are now entirely destroyed,
because the water caught them ut time
when they should have been dry. Some of
the planters have made investigations SINH
lar to that reported yesterday, and they
have found that the rice in the heads is SO
soft that il cannot mature. il was reported
last night that the second and third floods
were coming down the river They have
not reached the plantations yet, however
and as the water is finding outlets in New
river, South Carolina, and other places it is
hoped that the drainage will be so great
that the volume of water will run OFT above

Painless Regulation.

1t is no longer question of doubt-although
the contrary WAS once believed-that medicines
which produce violent effects are unsuted to
other than desperate emergencies. In other
words, that superpotent remedies are calcula-
ted To weaken and injure the system rather than
reform its irregularities. Among medicines of
facilitating effect are cathartics and chola-
gogues which copiously and abruptly evacuate
